You could produce a thousand cheap ads for your product or one expensive real ad.

Podcasting is going through the thousand cheap ads with the obnoxiously inserted interstitial ads. What they have accomplished is me unsubscribing to the worst offending podcast and beginning the journey of ad blocking on podcast with the help of whisper and LLMs. Also now I hate Shopify with the heat of a 1000 burning suns due to their obnoxious ads and the insane rate they get played.

So yea that one expensive ad would probably have a positive impact compared to a tidal wave of slop. Quality > Quantity after all.
